Why doesn’t PayPal allow you to use your own debit card, that you linked to your PayPal account, to pay off debt that you them? Why the barrier? You’d think that they would want you to pay off a negative balance owed to them but they don’t allow you to with a debit card that is linked in your PayPal wallet…

You can apparently link your bank account and it says it may take 3-5 days for the payment to clear, which we’ve all already discussed in this thread…apparently it won’t let me connect my bank account either, so now there is just sitting debt that can’t be paid off…

Does Elon still own that company? Where is Elon when PayPal needs him back?

I have an annuity that takes 2-3 days to get to my account. I was told by my CU that it depends on how it is sent. I guess im used to instant payment when I use my debit card.

I remember Basic Guaranteed Income being more talked about by I believe Bernie Sanders, I think, back when the world was entertained by the absolutely hilarious Trump versus Hilary campaign season, where Bernie I think actually beat Hillary but the DNC made Hillary the presidential runner up, showing the world the corruption of the DNC.

You’d be surprise. Some people have amazing work ethic and they are driven by a God given purpose, that motivates them to work because when they accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, God implanted that mission in them.

i receive a monthly check but sometimes I’m working on my music, websites, social media profiles over 8 hours a day.

The other day I couldn’t go to sleep, so I kept working almost two days straight with no sleep in between. No, I don’t use any illegal drugs; I have a form of mania/insomnia.

The only reason I’ve been on here the past few days, was to have some downtime and recharge my batteries before I hop to it again.

If there is one addiction I can’t quit; it’s being a work-a-holic. Just check my resume: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sts1988)

I have this belief that one day, I’ll have this house next to the ocean in Newport Beach, California on Balboa Peninsula with a dock and a yacht floating in Newport Bay, either in this life or the New Earth. Keeps me going, even though I only get $221 cash monthly and $291 for food monthly.

I am just an amazing steward of my finances and make really wise decisions.

What I currently earn doesn’t define me because I have Jesus in me and God will always provide.

As you’ve seen; my resume, talents, skills, training, education, licenses and certificates speak for themselves.

Like Paul, I am content with little or a lot. I always find a way to make things work.

Anyways, I was thinking about the processing time. It makes sense to me. It helps to reduce fraud, even though fraud still exists. I used to get my debit card numbers stolen all the time, and I think it had to do with this shady gas station, I used to go to.

Let us say, someone some how got your debit card information, starting charging things. Your bank sends you a notice, about transactions in a different part of a country, than where you live. You call them and tell them, that it's fraud. The bank stops the transaction and your account is safe, while also protecting more loss to the bank, and other retailers.

If transactions were instant, than a fraudster could charge a bunch of things, and the transaction was already instantly processed, with not much the bank could do, to mitigate loss. I think it's for security reasons, that transactions take a couple days to process by card, to prevent fraud. That's my take. It's not really a conspiracy.

Now, if digital transaction become more secure, like biometric finger printing, or some sort eye recognition, than yeah, maybe instant payments could be made. There is to much fraud in the world for instant processing, for banks to let this happen.
